Sum

Solution

Given that `lim_(x -> a) ((2 + x)^(5/2) - (a + 2)^(5/2))/(x - a)`

= `lim_(x -> a) ((2 + x)^(5/2) - (a + 2)^(5/2))/((2 + x) - (a + 2))`

= `lim_(2 + x -> a + 2) ((2 + x)^(5/2) - (a + 2)^(5/2))/((2 + x) - (a + 2))`

= `5/2 (a + 2)^(5/(2 - 1))`

= `5/2(a + 2)^(3/2)`   ....`[because lim_(x -> a) (x^n - a^n)/(x - a) = n * a^(n - 1)]`
